BINI was named Artist of the Year at the Filipino Music Awards (FMA) 2026, adding another major honor to the eight-member group’s growing list of achievements.
The group, known as the “Nation’s Girl Group,” also won Tour of the Year for its “Signals World Tour,” recognizing its live performances and expanding international reach.
Members Jhoanna and Maloi accepted the awards on behalf of their groupmates, thanking Filipino music fans for their continued support.
Jhoanna said they attended the ceremony to celebrate Original Pilipino Music (OPM), without expecting to win the night’s top award.
“Hindi namin in-expect ’to. We went here to celebrate kasi kami ni Ate Maloi, talagang fan ng OPM,” she said.
She described the past year as mentally and physically demanding, particularly as BINI performed on major international stages, including Coachella.
Jhoanna thanked Filipino fans for helping bring OPM to wider audiences.
Maloi also expressed gratitude to their supporters and fellow members, saying the recognition left them emotional.
